There is some talk of Micheal Bisping dropping down to 185lbs, and if he did and one his next fight over Hamill, would he be a contender for the belt and would he beat Anderson Silva or Rich Franklin depending on who wins in there next fight.

I'll go with no.
Rich was a LHW before, so Bisping's size isn't going to be any bit of a factor in that fight. Rich's skill set is superior to Bisping's, anyway.
Anderson Silva's style is far, far, far superior to Bisping's. So there's another no.

Anderson silva and rich franklin would absolutly MURDER bisping! (hey hopefully thos fights will happen then!) I wouldn't mind Silva Breaking bispings face with a muay Thai knee or Rich KO'ing bisping like he did Quarry :(
I hate bisping more than just about any other fighter so seeing him get destroyed but these 2 would be awesome to watch

He would also lose to Okami, however there are a bunch of fights at middleweight I would like to see Bisping involed in. Kampman, Mcdonald, Marquardt, Cote, and Grove would all be good fights. I really think he needs to make the move to middle weight, there is just way to much talent at LHW for him to compete for the belt. He could be very competative at 185, and it would boost a weak division. Lets list a few of the top fighters in LHW, we have Shogun, Liddell, Wanderlie, Rampage, Hendo, Ortiz, Evans, etc. etc. I mean the only guys I can see him having a chance against are Ortiz, and Evans, and still that would be a accomplishment getting past either one of them. I haven't even mentioned a few of the other guys, like Griffen, Alexander, Jardine, Eastman...... The LHW division is just a gauntlet of amazing fighters right now, and making a case for deepest divison in the UFC. I still think WW is the deepest but not by much. Hamill should make the move as well if he can. There fight should really be at 185.

Good post. Cote/Bisping would be an AMAZING fight

With that weak graze that put Grove down at 74 I would predict a 1st 4 second Kid like flying knee KO for Bisping because you know he thorws that too and you know Kendall will shoot! I think he should test hamils chin with a flying knee too...
I think he would beat Franklin in a good fight because he would make him owrk or maybe this is because im becoming a franklin hater because to me hes a boring fighter except when I watch him get KTFO by Silva 10 times on my VCR when recording UNleashed]
He would give Silva a better match then franklin because Silva is not that great on the ground, remember Travis lutter had him in guard or mount and actually could have stopped him because Silva was guarding mummy style? Bisping could take him down easy when silva thorws that flying knee and he could actually finish him...
Bisping is UNDERATED!!!

Sorry but Rich would run through this guy and Silva not great on the ground. Anbody who says that should be locked up by now. Lutter did 0 dmg to Silva, mounted or not. Anderson would........I can't even think of a word bad enough to describe what he'd do to him.

i dont think hw would be able to beat either of these guys... anderson is a WAY better striker then him, and so is his ground game, and rich is a big middlweight and in my opinion he is also a better striker then bisping. i think bisping should drop down, espcially after he got his ass beat by hamill. but i dont think he would be a contender real soon.
